Poll: What multivitamin are you taking?

[AceH]

<font color="brown">I used to take GNC's Ultramega, but I decided to switch to GNC's Ultramega Gold. I have difficulty consistently taking my vitamins, so I made the decision to put myself on a strict vitamin regimen for 12 months...

What is your multivitamin? </font>

 

[MyNameIsCiara]

I take Walgreens brand (Multiple Vitamins with Iron)...
I only have to take one daily and the pill is very small!

 

[isis1913]

I am taking Centrum now. I have a bottle on my desk and try and remember to take it with my lunch if I eat here in my office.

When I remember I have a nail and hair complex at home i take. It has Biotin and other things... You have to take 3 with meals but I always forget...

womens ultra mega- thinking about switching back to centrum (its cheaper and smaller)

Rite-Aid Whole Source Multivitamin. I chose this one because it was recommended for women in an article a while back in The Nutrition Action Letter. It's a rather large vitamin, though.

Nay: You represent my natural hair length inspiration! Do you take only 1 Rite-Aid Whole Source Multi, or do you have to take more than one at multiple times a day.

Ok, so those who have responded, are you satisfied with what you're taking? I'm on the hunt for a good one w/noticeable benefits (ie - strong nails, healthy glow, energy, and others). I want something that my body actually absorbs and not something that simply passes thru. Thanks!

 

[Guest]

Yes, I'm satisfied with taking Centrum. It's good for overall health. The Centrum passed the the float test so that makes it a quality vitamin that absorbs easily in my opinion.

<font color="brown">Well, my twin sister takes the GNC Ultramega, and she's the one who convinced me that multivitamins were essential for overall health. Since we are twins and all, I noticed how her hair was getting longer &amp; longer (I asked her and she told me about the vitamins &amp; LHCF), and her nails were really long too - longer than the length I would get when I got tips/acrylic! Anyway, I haven't had much success with Ultramega, and my twin stresses that it has to do with taking my vitamins consistently.

So, I figure, whatever multivitamin you choose, be sure to take them consistently for at least 3 months or so - by then, you should be able to tell what they are doing for you physically...

Hey, Reggie: Thanks for saying I'm a hair length inspiration. Yes, I only take one of these multivitamins a day. I can't say for sure whether it has helped my hair or not. I really started taking it more for overall health benefits. And at the same time, I had also been embarking on healthier living in general (more exercising, drinking more water). So it's hard to pinpoint one thing as, "Hey, that is doing the trick."

I have noticed that my eyes look brighter, my nails look healthier. So I think everything together has definitely been beneficial.

Vitamin Shoppe Ultimate Woman. It's relatively cheap, has a good amount of B vitamins, and absorbs well. I love it

 

[soulchild]

I take Centrum.

To get more out of your multi, consider splitting the tablet in half into 2 separate doses daily.

I just began Isotonix today- it's a powdered multivitamin.

 

[inthepink]

I consider my GNC Hair, Skin, Nails as my multi vitamin. I don't want to overdo the vitamins so I just take that. If I wasn't taking the HSN, I'd take a regular multi.
